Me & my speech.

For Rhapsodie the theme of the “U.S. Constitution” hasn’t been followed with regards to actions done with the people of this country.

This theme, should infiltrate every interpretation of Constitutional law designation. “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union [a union is a connection, not a separation], establish justice, insure domestic tranquility , provide for the common [accepted] defense, promote [get behind, boost, not make] the general welfare, and secure [fortify, preserve, assure, (Webster’s New World Thesaurus, 1990)]] the blessings of liberty[the rights supposedly natural to man- freedom; independence; power of choice,(Webster’s New World Thesaurus, 1990)] to ourselves and our posterity [our children’s future, our descendant’s future, (Webster’s New World Thesaurus, 1990)], do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

According to Rhapsodie this was shared, not for the judicial, legislative, or executive governors of this country, but for the people of this land now and into the future. The Bureau of Indian Affairs continues to handle the difficult task of caring for people within this country that are of another nation, previous posts showed how there were failures in the past.

Because the Constitution vested the Legislative Branch with plenary power over Indian Affairs, states have no authority over tribal governments unless expressly authorized by Congress. While federally recognized tribes generally are not subordinate to states, they can have a government-to-government relationship with these other sovereigns, [to a very limited extent] as well.

They can also become citizens of their tribes or villages as enrolled tribal members.

American Indians and Alaska Natives have the same rights as other citizens to hold public office.

Over one-half of the total U.S. American Indian and Alaska Native population now live away from their tribal lands.

However, most return home to

visit relatives;

attend family gatherings and celebrations;

participate in religious, cultural, or community activities;

work for their tribal governments;

operate businesses;

vote in tribal elections or run for tribal office;

retire; or

to be buried.

But the present government still adds regulations to the life of citizens that will probably cause problems for the future posterity of this country’s people. When examining the Constitution you can see how freedom based on equality and LOVE was shared, in accord with the writer’s understanding of LOVE and the principles established in the law of the Iroquois & 5 Nations.

Article IV, section 4 provides that “[t]he United States shall guarantee to every state in this uniona republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic [internal against the country] violence.” Or against violence from the federal government against the State.

Article IV, section 2“The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states.”

Article III, section 2“The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority; . . . In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction.”

See how reading this section in correspondence with the information about Native American peoples and Congress above effects Rhapsodie with sorrow. But there is hope because we are a people that can still use the Constitutional freedom’s given us by our ancestors to have more freedom with more responsibility.
